ENWW Configuring for LPD Printing 170
Assigning an IP Address
Before you can set up a printer for LPR printing, assign an IP
address to the printer or print server. Use the HP LaserJet Utility
to configure the printer IP address as follows:
1. Double-click HP LaserJet Utility in the HP LaserJet folder.
2. Click the Settings button.
3. Select TCP/IP from the scrolling list and then click Edit.
4. Select the desired option. You can automatically obtain the
TCP/IP configuration from either the DHCP server or the
BOOTP server, or you can manually specify the TCP/IP
configuration.
